Re: Engine Went Bad
well its a good 8-10 hour job I'd say to flip one D for another.... so the labor sounds ok, but you can find D17s for $250-400 at junk yards. Its not that hard of a job with a hoist and some friends... just do it yourself.
Did you spin a rod or a main bearing? How bad is the damage? If its fixable, have a machine shop clean up the motor and rebuild it. The dealer wants to swap it because its easier. Find out if it can be fixed.

In my book 10 hours equals $1000. They'll pay 300 for motor and charge you 550 cause the parts dept has to get there cut. Then charge you 650 for the install. Like already said I would just get buy a motor yourself and invite your friends over for a fun weekend.
